My review:

    I've had this book on my kindle tbr list for awhile now so I finally decided to give it a read. I is not the YA paranormal romance that I thought it was. I wouldn't recommend it to anyone younger than 18yrs. I is full of sex and drugs along with alot of immorality and manipulative mean girls. I have read other reviews that compare this book to Carrie and I have to say that I agree with that in some ways. Jenny lives her life in her own solitude unable to have any kind of relationship with normal people. Until she realizes Seth can give her something she's never thought possible a friendship and possibly love. 

     It was a really good  read and I enjoyed  it all the way through. I starts off as a very sad story. Jenny is such a sweet girl with such a horrible gift that you can't help feeling so bad for her. And of course there's always that one mean girl who makes it their mission in life to never let you have any kind of happiness. And when Jenny finally does find that happiness there's always something or someone trying to muck it up. when Jenny gets her "Carrie" moment and you think this book is going to end in a very tragic way something happens and it was like "Wow okay didn't see that coming".

    I am really looking forward to reading the other books in the series. If your looking for a typical  paranormal romance than this book is not for you but if your looking for something different than you should check it out. This is a free kindle read and can be found on amazon.com.
